        <H2>CS631 -- Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment - NetBSD</H2>

	<p>
	All software development will be done on a <a
	href="https://www.netbsd.org">NetBSD</a> system.
	<b>It is your responsibility to prepare
	yourself for use of such a system
	prior to the start of the class.</b>
	</p>

	<p>
	All grading will be done on a NetBSD 9.0 system. While you may choose to develop
	on your own personal host, you should make sure that your code compiles
	and runs flawlessly on this OS.
	</p>

	<p>
	Here are some options for you to use NetBSD for this class:
	<ul>
	<li>install the <a href="http://netbsd.org/releases/index.html#formal">latest release of NetBSD</a> on your laptop</li>
	<li>install the <a href="http://netbsd.org/releases/index.html#formal">latest release of NetBSD</a> in a virtual machine such as <a href="https://www.virtualbox.org/">VirtualBox</a> -- see <a href="virtualbox/">these instructions for details</a></li>
	<li>create a <a href="https://wiki.netbsd.org/amazon_ec2/amis/">NetBSD AWS EC2 instance</a></li>
	</ul>
	Determining the right solution for you and getting everything set up is considered a pre-requisite for this class.</p>
